The experts speak II

The last 10th of February, in Treviso (Italy), MasterMind hosted the first of two Uptake Seminars to get input from high-level experts on how to increase uptake of the services deployed in the project. Six experts took part in the event, covering decision makers, policy makers, researchers, and pioneers in mental health and innovation. We don’t want to loss any important information or tip. For this reason, we have done different vlogs. The second videolog includes the speech of Morten Elbæk Petersen, Miquel Casas and Chantal Van Audenhove.
